Remove cookie when browser close in NodeJS

How do I remove or delete cookies when users close the browser? I have the code here using cookie-parser in NodeJS with the maxAge property which I do not know what value should I put in order to delete the cookie when users close the browser. I believe Many thanks in advance and greatly appreciated.

If there is no Expires or Max-Age parameter set for the cookie, then the browser will treat is as a "session cookie" and will not store the cookie beyond the current browsing session (typically kept only in memory). So, when the browser is closed, the cookie will be gone.
